The Hustle Type says
“The problem is effort. Cancel the weekend until the market respects you.”
A live social game for adults
Terrible Advice Club
Real problems. The worst possible people to ask.
Join a team. Get a dilemma. Make catastrophically bad advice sound completely reasonable.
The idea
Good advice makes people nod.
Terrible advice makes them talk.
Most networking dies in small talk. Most workshops die in slides. Terrible Advice Club gives the room something better to do.
You solve familiar work and life dilemmas through the least useful characters imaginable. The fun is making their advice sound almost right.
Meet your advisers
Twenty-six people you should absolutely not listen to.
Hover to interrupt them. They will not take it well.
How it works
One round.
Five bad decisions.
No acting talent. No specialist knowledge. No personal confession. Just a team willing to commit to the bit.
-
01
Get a real dilemma
Work, business, anxiety, relationships, family or boundaries.
-
02
Draw two advisers
Choose the one most capable of making everything worse.
-
03
Build your case
Your team gets three minutes to turn nonsense into certainty.
-
04
Sell it in 60 seconds
Short, sharp and just plausible enough to make people uncomfortable.
-
05
Win the Red Flag
The room votes for the advice that was terrible—but convincing.
Tonight's completely hypothetical disaster
“I have spent six months building something nobody is buying. What now?”
The Just-Leave Type says
“Delete the business. Disappear. Reinvent yourself by Monday.”
Then comes the useful bit
The Advice Autopsy.
After each round, the facilitator spends 60–90 seconds showing why the bad advice sounded so familiar—and what real pattern was hiding inside it.
Enough insight to take something home. Not enough to turn the night into a seminar.
Who is it for?
People who want an actual conversation.
Public games
Come without knowing anyone.
Get put in a team, laugh with strangers and skip the painful part where everyone explains what they do for work.
